TPO Roofing Systems

TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) is a single-ply reflective roofing membrane made from polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber polymerized together. This thermoplastic cool roof solution has gained broad industry acceptance for its many performance and installation advantages. TPO is among the fastest growing commercial roofing products in the world today.

Benefits of TPO

Durability, Flexibility and Versatility – TPO is highly resistant to tears, impacts and punctures with good flexibility to allow for building movement. Can be installed on low and high slope surfaces.

Economical and Easy to Install – Membrane’s flexibility allows for a rapid installation and requires little maintenance. Large panels reduce number of seams and cut labour costs drastically.

Cool Roofing Matters – A light coloured roof that reflects the sun’s energy can play a significant role in reducing the building’s cooling cost. It also offers benefits to the surrounding environment through a reduction of the urban heat island (UHI) effect.

Welded Seams For Long-Lasting Performance – TPO membranes are heat-welded at 926C with a hot-air gun. The result is a fused seam that’s stronger than the field of the membrane.
